Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today's list is headed up by the lowest price we've seen on Crucial's MX500 solid-state drive: its 500GB variant is now available for $115 at Amazon, down from its usual $125-130 range.

This isn't the sexiest gadget around, but replacing an old hard disk drive with a good SSD is one of the simplest and most impactful upgrades you can make to speed up an aging laptop or new desktop. The MX500 here isn't a performance king for its size—Samsung's 860 EVO is typically found to be faster and more power efficient in this class of SATA drives—but it's not significantly far off in real-world use, and here it's going for $25 less. It comes with a five-year (or 180TB written) warranty and supports native encryption as well. Feel free to pay more for the EVO if you want a better performer (and don't want to pay more for a stronger NVMe drive), but the MX500 is a solid value for mainstream purposes today.

If you're not in the mood to tinker with your PC, however, we also have deals on various gaming laptops and accessories, iPads, wireless exercise headphones, 4K TVs, and much more. Check it all out for yourself below.
